New Research Alert 🚨![]()
"Characterization of EMF exposure induced by French cellular networks' is a new study of the SeaWave Project which provides a comprehensive evaluation of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure in French 4G/LTE networks, introducing a novel metric to better quantify network radiated energy efficiency 💡 📶 📡 👥 ![]()
![]()
The teams of Télécom Paris and CEA combine field measurements with computational modeling to assess both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) contributions across different service types (VoCS, VoLTE, VoIP, and SFTP). ![]()
The authors introduce the novel Radiated Energy per Bit Transmitted (REBT) metric to quantify network radiated energy efficiency, while characterizing TX power patterns across different services, revealing higher mean-to-maximum power ratios for data services compared to voice calls. ![]()
The study establishes an important methodological framework, combining the global exposure index with detailed transfer function analysis, providing critical insights for both current 4G and emerging 5G exposure assessments.![]()

When we talk about RF-EMF exposure, we usually think about our own phones. But what about the signals we absorb just by standing in a crowd? 👥 📶 🏙️![]()
![]()
Most research focuses on the person holding the phone. But this new study of the SEAWave Project looks at the bystander: the person standing next to the 5G or Wi-Fi user. ![]()
A total of 16,900 measurement points were collected in Greece across 76 microenvironments in urban, suburban, and rural locations, under both high- and low-traffic conditions. ![]()
Results show that bystander exposure is characterized by low average levels with intermittent high peaks while the exposure patterns are strongly dependent on both the type of environment and the location. DL exposure from BSs dominates in urban areas, whereas UL exposure from mobile devices is more significant in rural regions with lower BS density.![]()
These findings provide an important reference for understanding real-world exposure scenarios and can inform future monitoring strategies, network planning, and risk assessment of RF-EMF exposure in public spaces.![]()
